For the population of one town, the number of siblings, x, is a random variable whose relative frequency histogram has a reverse J-shape. The mean number of siblings is 1.3 and the standard deviation is 1.5. Let x denote the mean number of siblings for a random sample of size 32. Determine whether the distribution of x is normal or approximately normal and find its mean and standard deviation.
With unit variance; the random variable Y is related to the random variable X by a linear relationship. A. Calculate the minimum error power when X and Y are fully correlated. B. Calculate the minimum error power when X and Y are not related at all.
The times to pop a regular bag of microwave popcorn without burning it are Normally distributed with a mean time of 140 seconds and a standard deviation of 20 seconds. The times to pop a mini bag of microwave popcorn, without burning it, are Normally distributed with a mean time of 90 seconds and a standard deviation of 15 seconds. Suppose two independent random samples, 25 of each, are taken and the mean popping times are calculated. Let R = the popping time of a randomly selected regular-sized bag and M = the popping time of a mini-sized bag. Which of the following best describes the mean of the sampling distribution of ?

Assume that ﬁnal exam scores in a given course are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10 points. In a class of 200 students, how many would you expect to fail the exam (i.e., score less than 60) (note: scores can only be approximately normally distributed, because the minimum score is 0, but this should not alter the answer, given how large the mean is relative to the standard deviation).
In a population of high school students’ algebra scores, the mean is 64 and the standard deviation is 6. Find the z values that correspond to a score x = 81. n a certain university, the students were informed that they need a grade in the top 8% of the engineering students to get a scholarship for the next semester. In the standardization of the test, the mean was 76 and the standard deviation is 14. Assuming that the grade is normally distributed, what must be the minimum grade to obtain the scholarship grant.
Ensure the RaceResults worksheet is active, then use the FREQUENCY function to calculate the frequency distribution of the race results in column D. Place your results in the range G4:G9. Enter a function in cell F22 to calculate the correlation between age (Columns C) and race time (Column D). Enter a function in cell G22 to calculate the covariance between age and race time. Enter a function in cell H22 to calculate the variance of the ages in the data set. Note this is a sample of data not a population. Enter a function in cell 122 to calculate the standard deviation of the ages in the data set.

A variable of two populations has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 18 for one of the populations and a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 32 for the other population. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. For independent samples of size 9 and 16, respectively, find the mean and standard deviation of X₁ -X₂. (Assume that the sampling is done with replacement or that the population is large enough.) The mean of X₁ -X₂ is. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) The standard deviation of X₁-X₂ is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. Must the variable under consideration be normally distributed on each of the two populations for you to answer part (a)? Choose the correct answer below. OA. No, the variable does not need to be normally distributed for the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of x₁-x₂ to hold as long as the sample sizes are large enough, as long as the sampling is done with replacement. B. No, the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of…

The times to pop a regular bag of microwave popcorn without burning it are Normally distributed with a mean time of 140 seconds and a standard deviation of 20 seconds. The times to pop a mini bag of microwave popcorn without burning it are Normally distributed with a mean time of 90 seconds and a standard deviation of 15 seconds. Suppose two independent random samples, 25 of each, are taken and the mean popping times are calculated. Let R = the popping time of a randomly selected regular-sized bag and M = the popping time of a mini-sized bag. Which of the following best describes the shape of the sampling distribution of ? Normal because both population distributions are Normal uniform because the both sample sizes are less than 30 skewed right because the difference in times cannot be negative skewed left because the sample sizes are less than 30 and the sampling variability is unknown
Q2. Assume we have two populations represent the mercury contamination (g/Km3) in two different European cities. The mean of mercury contamination in the first city is 50 g/Km3 with standard deviation of 1O, and mean of mercury contamination in the second city is 40 g/Km3 with standard deviation of 8 g/Km3. If a sample of n=9 is taken form first city and a sample of n=16 is taken form second city, what is the probability that the difference between these two sample means is less than 9 g/Km3? 0.0614 0.0359 0.3985 0.0992 0.6015
